Demographic Features of the Scheduled Castes in Assam: An Analytical Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Demographic features of a region or a country portray a clear picture of the socio-economic conditions of the people living in that region or country. Similarly, the demographic features of a particular class or a caste reflect the socio-economic status of that particular class or caste. In Assam, the Scheduled Castes (SCs) occupy a major part of the total population in the state as well as total area. According to the census of 2001, 6.9 percent of the state’s total populations are belonging to the Scheduled Castes. This paper is an attempt to analyze the demographic features of Scheduled Castes in Assam. The study is based upon primary and secondary data. The study found that the SCs of Assam are still very backward. However, in some extent, they are standing in a better position as compared to the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) of the state.
